Thor and the Oak Men

What
makes Teutonic magic and occult folklore so interesting compared to
other canons of European rites, is firstly its powerful connection
to the forests and woodlands, and secondly, the darkness and physical brutality of the rites and rituals which have been recorded over the
centuries by Grimm and other Germanic folklorists. The temples of
the Teutonic wizards were the old woods, and this later became the
towering columns of the Gothic cathedrals. The worship of the oak—both the leaves and acorns—inside the grove by the Teutonic Häxan priests who conducted their rituals inside these groves by
flaming torchlight in the same manner the National Socialists would
perform their own torch light rituals under towering Nazi banners. The
great rallies of Nuremberg and other Nazi grand affairs were nothing
more than the Häxan priestly rituals of the groves brought up to date.

The
oak was also the symbol of construction, rebuilding and restoration.
Both materially and spiritually. This led to the Reichsarbeitsdienst
(Reich Labour Service) created by the Nazis and who used the symbol
of a spade stylised to look like an acorn adorned on either side by
oak leaves on their flag and other regalia. The depth and
significance of the oak symbolism being updated by the National
Socialists cannot be understated, as its restoration also unleashed
dark archetypal undercurrents of the Teutonic psyche which had been
repressed for centuries by a shim of Christianity.

The
sacredness of the oak in Teutonic Häxan magic is recalled in J.G.
Frazer's epic work on magical ritual The Golden Bough, in which he
outlines the serious consequences of stripping the bark from an oak
tree. The culprit's navel would be nailed to the area of the oak
where the bark had been stripped and then they would be forced to walk
around the tree trunk until their intestines had become completely
unravelled—as a sort of bandage—around the area of stripped oak
bark. Then the guilty person would die from this ritual, and would then nourish the
roots of the oak with the life force of their blood. The life of a man
for the life of an oak.

The
protection of the oaks was given to young men in the service of the
Teutonic wizard—a Häxan variation of the Catholic Altar
Boy—referred to as 'Oak Men'. Their service was to that of Donar or
Thunar, these being alternate names for the Norse deity Thor.
Donar, who was also the Italian pagan god Jupiter, was connected
with fertility, spring rains and the end of the darkness of winter.
The Teutonic traditions of the Yule Log and the Easter Oak all derive
from the Donar/Oak cult, the survival of Winter and the on coming
revival and restoration of Spring. During the era of National
Socialism, the young men of the Reichsarbeitsdienst would perform
large scale rituals based around the assumption that their labour and
tools were performing the same task. Their spades were planting new
groves for the Nazi wizard class to perform their own rituals, and
the Reichsarbeitsdienst hammers were the hammer of Thor ending the
dark night of the Wiemar Soul, by building a new dawn for the nation and culture. Their life force energy for the life of the greatest oak
forest of them all. The salvation of the Germanic soul itself.

Thomas Sheridan's New Book Entitled 'Walpurgis Night: Volume One 1919-1933' will be released in Spring 2014

I don't really know what to make of this Thomas, given your regular lashing out at National Socialism. At the very least, I think we must take an objective view and agree that - unlike modern politicians - at least the Third Reich believed in some higher, immaterial purpose; something beyond money and entertainment. They brought purpose and the spirit of their ancestral culture back to the people, and the people were rejuvenated for a time. Whatever other crimes they may have committed (we must always question the stories) I can't possibly see them as more evil than the current regimes of the Western world - who value the Economy alone as being their almighty God.

Glad to see your post...this time has been one of reclusiveness for me, maybe it's the same for you. I wish you peace, and i have a little humble home here in Florida not too far from the beach that is always open to you if you desire. I know you appreciate the mystical beauty of nature and this place still has plenty of it, especially the cypress forests, even though it is over developed.

JUST IDEAS AND INFO

It is a strange thing indeed when we create something and then only to live in fear of it. I suspect that at some subconscious level we know how volatile and terrifying the magic of the creative process can be and these things become our own Frankenstein Monsters. A Golem we forged from the mud of our lives that can either serve or consume us.

I am not an activist. I would not waste my time on activism. I just keep throwing 'it' out there and if people want to run with it great. If not, that's their own freewill and good luck to them. I also expect to get zero validation or social change created as an effect of my work. I am aware of my limitations and my energy is precious.

Once a tiny number of folks are looking at 'reality' from alternative viewpoints then all good. I am not expecting them to do anything about it. No reason why they should.

I subscribe to the Nietzschean idea that the absolute Truth is unattainable and that all language is ultimately metaphor. Therefore, one person's 'Truth' can easily be another person 'Lie' and I am not interested in suffering for semantics.

Gaba Gaba Hey!

Thomas Sheridan is an independent alternative artist, author, satirist, comedy writer, musician, public speaker and researcher currently based in the West of Ireland. His illustrations have appeared on the cover of newsstand magazines, books and websites worldwide. He is the author of The Anvil of the Psyche and several other titles.

The Anvil of the Psyche looks at social manipulation through popular culture and marketing. Thomas has also been featured in several films and documentaries. In 2012, following a virtual book-burning fiasco—a kind of flying-saucer fatwa—by fanatical members of an obscure alien worshipping religious group, Sheridan turned his attention to documentary making and film production concerning mind control, free speech and other consciousness rights issues.

In October 2013, Sheridan was asked to give a lecture to the Irish Mental Health Professionals on Psychopathology in Popular Culture and within the Corridors of Power, along with profiling and spotting the dangers posed by extremist terror/death cults embedded within the New Age/Alternative movement. The 2012 Salman Rushdie-style attack on Sheridan resulted in a huge upsurge in interest with Sheridan's work, which now reaches into both alternative and mainstream audiences.

"When I was a Teen in school, some absurd QUANGO named The Youth Council of Ireland or something like that came to our school and we did a survey. One of the questions was: 'How Would You Describe Your Own Life?' and I wrote: "boredom and unhappiness occasionally interrupted by brief spams of contentment." That was a very honest answer.

In later life, I began to see how poignant that answer was, as I became increasingly more contented, then occasionally happy and sometimes very happy. But here is the clincher. I MADE THIS EVOLUTION HAPPEN FOR ME. There was no God, Government Policy, Cult, Other Person or Product which made me less unhappy.

Instead of expecting an ideal world where everyone wakes up and we get Heaven on Earth - it's the responsibility of you as an individual to make Hell less miserable for YOU as an individual. Then spread information on what made it less shitty which might help others, and if they ignore it then that's OK too. They have freewill.

Welcome to my eh 'classic' blog. Unlike others in this field of research, I'm not hiding my name or personal history, agenda behind a pseudonym. Not associated, and never has been with doomsday religions/sects, or using 'recovery' forums as feeder operations/reciprocal arrangements with notorious mind-control flying saucer death religions placing forum members in great danger. In fact, I have left forums when I found out this was their agenda. Recovery groups/books by people who hide their real identity are unaccountable, and therefore not trustworthy. Their own life history is hidden, while they viciously and very personally trash others with impunity. They are not safe places for heterosexual men especially. Erotomania and Munchhausen by Proxy is epidemic on such groups. On these groups the only criteria for someone being a 'psychopath' is a person just being the Ex of these people. These groups are often run by people who never encountered a genuine 'psychopath' in their lives. They were just DUMPED by their Ex is all. It's not a healthy environment for genuine targets seeking help.

I do not run psychotic and vicious personal smear campaigns while screaming hysterically about being an 'empath' behind a unknown identity. I do not pitch men and women against each other as part of their 'recovery'. Some 'recovery' groups are run by unstable, completely self-absorbed train-wrecks who are often lying about their abuse. I see the psychopath issue as a cross-gender one.

I just give free help and mostly free information to any one who needs it without the amateur dramatics and 'me, me' me!' self-absorption. What you see is what you get. Useful, Interesting and Helpful Information. No Professional Drama Queen Histrionics or Hate. Lots of Good Humour and Free Help.

The Cathars and Gnostics were probably correct - this is Hell and we can't make Heaven out of it. Only make the bullshit less painful. Understand the world is a nasty place, but try not to be an self-absorbed idiot about it.

Now for the Nitty-Gritty - if you want a mature, non-witch hunt, non histrionic introductory to the world of psychopaths (sociopaths) and how to avoid and recover from the horrific devastation they leave in their wake...LOOK HERE>>>
